Overview
About the course
The Viking Age (c. 750 – 1050 AD) was a formative period of history. During this time, Scandinavians were to leave their mark across Europe and beyond, and contributed to shaping the world we live in today. Maritime interactions tied together people and societies in new ways, spurring cultural encounters and economic transformation.
With the discovery of sailing routes to Iceland, Greenland and America the Vikings expanded the reach of global interactions. Archaeology shows the Viking Age as a transformation of societies within and beyond Scandinavia.
The focus in this The Viking Age – The archaeology of a sea-bound world course at Aarhus University is on the cultural and societal transformation of Scandinavia and its neighbors in the period c. 600-1100 CE in the context of the catalyzing expansion of maritime interactions.
